Falling for a Festival

|

Music, games, pumpkins, and great food were to be had during Dairy Club’s fall festival, Thu. Oct. 26, 2023, at the Dairy Unit on the University Farm. The Dairy Science (Dairy Club) organization is a CAES student group.

Students from across the college joined Animal Science students and student workers at the University Dairy for grilled hotdogs and burgers, face painting, pumpkin painting, music, and hands-on activities with calves at the farm’s dairy unit as they caught the autumn spirit with a fall festival on Oct. 26.

“We’ll probably have about 40 or 50 students by the time the night’s over,” said Lauren Mayo, Ph.D., research assistant professor in dairy science. “It’s a great way for students to relax after a long week.”
